A Citizens' Master Plan

The citizens of Northern St. Lucie
County wanted to raise the quality of development to a higher
level. From this ambition, the citizens created a Master Plan
that

utilizes development as a tool
to preserve large areas for the countryside

deals with water management comprehensively

addresses traffic and
infrastructure needs

maintains the urban
service boundary in it current location

Above all, the citizen's Master
Plan accommodates the next fifty years of growth in a predictable
manner that ensures the preservation of the residents' quality
of life.

This Master plan is
the tool for a historic turnaround. Great visions of what could
be done have been drawn up. Coherent ideas for replacing the
current pattern of growth have emerged from a community working
together on this project. These are attainable visions, not
just pretty pictures. The physical place that will growth during
the next generation will be a national model of inspiration.
